(no subject)
wow, i don't post enough. i've been both busy and not. i'm still working 30hrs a week at the U, spending lots of time joined at the hip with dan ^_^, seeing friends a bit - though not enough, and dog sitting on and off.
my 4th of july was good. dog sat for my mom's neighbor for friday and saturday nights, and sunday day. you probably all know i am not a dog person, but, rosie (golden retriever) is ok, the money's decent, and, it's the same as with babysitting, i have a hard time saying no to anyone.
that saturday, dan and i went with my mom and denny to the blast fireworks, which were good. we then spent sunday and monday with his family, going to the lake and having burgers (veggie for me! ^_^) and stuff with them and chris monday.
we also got to see alexis, who's finally back from france, and her dan sunday. played a rousing game of risk (you know, i think there could be some sort of gender study based on the differences between how men and women play war games like risk), made mac and cheese, and chatted until people started dozing off.
lets see . . . oh, a couple of weeks ago now, i hung around summer quest and got to see forensa-people, which was awesome. late night pizza house runs, chatting and getting caught in a down pour w/richard and nina, etc. fun times all around.
i've started working on some forensics stuff, though not as much as I'd like. and of course, since i'm thinking about it, i've had the requisite forensics nightmare that it seems a lot of us have.
so yeah, this summer's had it's ups for sure, and of course it's downs in missing people that i haven't seen enough of because of either distance, lack of time, or perhaps avoidance. as always i feel like it's going too fast. i have fun, but don't accomplish even half of what I want to, and, give my normal high hope and over reaching goals probably never will.
but! i'm brooding, and that's not what I wanted this to be about. so - loves to all, take a deep breath, and smile. ^_^
